Excel Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 http://content.usato...isconsin-loss/1 That is the link. I thought it was kind of ridiculous that USA today dugs this up. I expected a local tv station to pick it up and that would be the end of it. Some of the comments are a little rude. Like calling the behavior SEC like and not BIG Ten like. If our players are SEC like, instead of tearing off a paper towel dispenser, Chase Rome would have attacked some people at the airport mini-bar. He won't be suspended, most likely he will get a talking to about keeping him emotions in check and channeling his frustration in a positiive way on and off the field. Agreed, it's not Big Ten like at all, he didn't trade the dispenser for tattoos 4 Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Wow, another example of frustration boiling over from one of the defensive backups. I understand having a competitive streak and getting frustrated at what must feel like being overlooked, but you've got to show a little more maturity than that... Right. Because he hasn't been playing at all. I've had those days at work where nothing goes my way and one minuscule thing ends up sending me over the edge... like an empty towel dispenser after I wash my hands. Except I usually just punch the damn thing instead of rip it off the wall, because I'm not a freak of nature. I'm sure nobody else here has had those days... Quote Link to comment

I can think of one instance where i got so mad at work that i had to options, roundhouse kick my boss in the back of his head after telling me that he was cancelling my three days off, or calming walking away. I chose to smoke a cigar and burn my arms repeatedly. Not a very smart choice, but at least i didn't seriously hurt my boss or get fired. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 This is the first and only time in history that a bathroom towel dispenser has - and I am using the Dane County Sherrif's Office official terminology of the incident here - been "totaled." I can't wait to see Rome get on the field more. Quote Link to comment
Ringer02 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The paper towel dispenser still picked up 10 yards after contact. 2 Quote Link to comment
crackNskullz Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 We need to show a little more fire like that on the field. Quote Link to comment
Karsaire Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The paper towel dispenser still picked up 10 yards after contact. I got a pretty nice laugh from that thanks lol Quote Link to comment
ShawnWatson Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 What irks me, why is everyone initially siding with the paper towel dispenser without knowing the facts? Who knows what that dispenser could have said/done to Rome to set him off. I guess I just think it is pretty near-sided of fans to form an opinion without knowing the facts. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Those things can be frustrating. We don't know for sure what type of dispenser it was. Quote Link to comment
MadisonBadger Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I agree with ShawnWatson, we shouldn't jump to conclusions that the dispenser didn't have it coming. Perhaps it was chanting, :"Eat Sh_t, F_ck You" like our students were. In that case the dispenser deserved it. If a messed up towel dispenser is the only damage we incurred with the invasion of all those fans, and a frustrated team, that's pretty damn good. You're welcome back anytime. Just take it easy on our towels :-) Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I bet he was trying to plank on it and it just fell off the wall. Quote Link to comment

I couldn't even be bothered to read the link before, but after this I feel compelled. Quote Link to comment
Cornicator Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 In his defense, Senator Larry Craig tried to tap his foot from underneath the stall. He was just having a bad night. Quote Link to comment
